swv gave wutang a push? lmao where you kids get that from? stop it please shyt is embarassing

:heh: Dudes in here saying the wildest shyt. SWV helped blow Wu up. Wu were local. nikkas naming any ole Bone songs as big hits. Dude's not making themselves look good. Just state you fukk with them more than you do Wu and keep it moving. I don't see why youhave to make up bullshyt. O yea, and that dude Wacky D is just a retard. SMH at anybody believing that dude is less than 40 years old and not a drunk.

Ok Ima go with the wu ... Wu tang is forever how many artists today shout dem out n use that CREAM in their raps just shows they trendsetters . Bone thugs could've sold more records but that I remember most of bone thugs singles were hits and they sold more actually because their singles were on movie soundtracks .., set it off etc

BONE sold more for a few reasons.

First and foremost the Eazy-E co-sign was huge.

Wu was a new totally unknown group. BONE also obviously had a lot more commercial friendly sound.

And before someone posts some gangster ass shyt like "Down Foe My Thang", I'm talking about shyt like "Cross Roads", "1st of tha Month", "Look into My Eyes", etc.

"If I Could Teach The World" won an American Music Award. Their sound was way more poppy and commercially viable than Wu.

Bone fans, word of advice. Never debate a non east coast artist vs an east artist on a predominately east coast message board. It's pointless and lame.

Yea. It's almost embarrassing that this thread got to so many pages. The thread title alone screams troll thread.

Its not a troll thread. Its a legit debate. Which is good actually. i like both. Being frm NYC im expected to favor WU. But i dont. I like Bone more musically and melodically. Bone to me was a industry enigma. What they did was highly unexpected. And they was TRUE thugs which kind make them and wu cuzzos.

i totally respect the argument that Wu is better than Bone, even the argument that Wu is the greatest rap group ever

but i cant respect the idea that Bone vs Wu is not debatable

Bone is EASILY a top 10 rap group regardless of your tastes or preferences

Wu
Bone
NWA
PE
Tribe
Kast
RUN DMC

^^ permanent members of any top 10 rap group list

:wtf: This has nothing to do with east coast bias. I don't know if this board is predominantly an east coast board or not, but I do know that the most ardent Wu stans aren't even from NY. They have strong followers nationally and internationally. Wu is just a bigger and more influential group in hip hop than Bone are. They were in the 90's and they are so now. Bone sold more records, sure, because they have a sound that can easily be absorbed by the pop audience. For people to come in here and try to act like Wu are the Lords of the Underground, or some shyt, is trolling.

I was selling reefer by 1988.
once again, youve proven my point.so very helpful you are.:yes:
Bone Brothers.* Actual album title.And wack, you can't whoop me.* Promise.* I should post a titty.
youve already been whooped.yall aint saying nothing. barely anybody is tackling any topics on yall end. its mostly cheerleading & chit talking.and when yall do try to say something, you have to move the goal posts.
Anyone remember that flick 'black & white' about papa John Phillips daughter worshipping Wu tang clan?* bytch even went to "the wall".Bone had a movie?* For real?
never saw it.i remember wutang already being washed by the time that movie came out tho.
I aint got time to read you nikkas back and forths..but y'all know Krayzie took shots at Rza on "Aint Said No Names" right? :smugbiden:
word?what lines were aimed at rza? i think i have an idea. its prolly the lines that i thought assumed were aimed at dj paul & juicy j.

are we seriously using this card?

bone thugs were known before they came out?

we gonna act like eazy-e wasnt semi-blackballed at the time?

we gonna act like wutang didnt have their own primetime mtv special before their album even started selling?

we gonna act like wutang didnt have alot more promotion, exposure & propaganda behind them than bone thugs?

we gonna act like bone thugs werent getting slighted by the media their whole career? the same media that worshipped wutang?

bone thugs were the ones at disadvantage in this race buddy. AND THEY STILL WON.
